On Day 9 (14th December, 2007) of our pilgrimage trip, we visited a very nice resort to have lunch and spend some time viewing the spectacular view from top of the mountain resort. It is so nice that I would love to spend 1-2 days at the resort. It is so relaxing and refreshing.

Haatiban Resort situated some 400m above the historic valley of Kathmandu with pine and fir trees amidst nature located just a 15 kms drive away from Kathmandu city.
The Haatiban Resort, set at an altitude of 1852 meters, commands a 160-degree view of the Kathmandu valley as well as the Himalayan range from Ganesh Himal to Mt. Everest.

Haatiban Resort is the only one of its kind. It commands the most awesome view of the gloriously majestic Himalayas and the fabled city of Kathmandu. From dawn to dusk, the horizon is simply breathtaking, adorned with some of the world's highest peaks stretching for miles from east to west with Ganesh Himal to Sagarmatha (Mt Everest). When evening sets in, the glittering city lights below, will make you understand why Kathmandu is also known as "the city of lustre"
